Another Boob

This guy must have been living under a rock not to have heard about the penalties. Notice the exaggerated graphic.

What do they mean, "Prohibition of laser pointers"?

What is that last charge? There's an active prohibition on laser pointers?

I'm guessing he boosted the output which is prohibited for laser pointers (class IIIa)...

I do believe that statement is worded poorly.That's were the confusion lays. There is no prohibition on laser pointers in the state of Maryland or local jurisdictions that I'm aware of. It is unlawful to shine the pointer at certain things like people, cops being a very big no no. That is what I think is meant by prohibition, not ownership.
In the video portion of the story this "Boob" could face up to 5 years in prison and a $5000 dollar fine.
